Chessreading Treasure(220 pages)

A unique collection of stories, articles, ideas, cartoons and anecdotes making up the ideal present for the chessplayer looking for some light reading.

Winning Chess Psychology is probably the most comprehensive work ever written on this theme.

Volume II (233 tightly printed pages) is packed full of very useful applications including all sorts of successful ideas to improve your play and results in competition. Many concepts in these two books have even been praised by participants in world championship tournaments!
